Censorship and suppression of dissent.

(Before I became a libertarian, I was a left-liberal, as I've said in
other contexts; although I believe completely in economic freedom, I'm
still _most_ concerned about freedom of speech.)

This is followed in order by restrictions related to the international system,
especially immigration controls, and then laws against sex, and then laws
against drugs.
